Next January, researchers from the UT Dallas CS Department will have a strong presence at the Thirty-Third AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-19) with six accepted research papers. The purpose of the AAAI conference series is to promote research in artificial intelligence (AI) and foster scientific exchange between researchers, practitioners, scientists, students, and engineers in AI and its related disciplines. The AAAI Conference is particularly selective in accepting research papers and each paper submitted to the conference is rigorously peer-reviewed by multiple experts. Six papers submitted by Drs. Gopal Gupta, Haim Schweitzer, Sriraam Natarajan, Nicholas Ruozzi, Vincent Ng, Latifur Khan, Gautam Kunapuli, Crystal Maung, Professor Gordon Arnold and their respective research students were accepted into the Thirty-Third AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence.
The following is a list of papers authored by UT Dallas faculty members that were accepted by the AAAI Conference:
